This is a little off topic, unless the topic is the 2016 Democratic primary, but the mess around Eliot Spitzer -- who basically got caught acting more like a prosecutor than like a governor, and using the State Police to investigate a political opponent -- just doesn't seem to be getting any better.

The suggestion by some state Senators that there is a need for Senate hearings on this issue is unfounded and serves only to distract state government from the people’s business that must move forward.

Probably not a great sign when you find yourself in the same position as President Bush.

Very benign of you to describe his conduct as "...acting more like a prosecutor than like a governor." How about describing it as CRIMINAL!!!!! I'm sure his party affiliation has no bearing on your outlook. Hey, we both know that any Republican behaving even with an appearance of impropriety is tarred and feathered. You only have to look at Nixon and his proverbial "enemies list" for proof. Interestingly, there is no evidence that Nixon actually moved against such "enemies; unlike William Jefferson Clinton, whose enemies felt the wrath of the IRS and other organizations. So, Spitzer using the State Police to investigate a political rival. No big deal right? What a joke.
